• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, with all due respect to the chairpersons of the different committees, it is embarrassing when they have responsibility in the House and they do not turn up to exercise that responsibility. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: So, I urge you to urge the committee chairpersons to take their work seriously. If we have three items on the Order Paper concerning committee chairpersons, they ought to have checked the Order Paper to know that they have business to transact. So, they are supposed to prosecute that business. Unfortunately, they are not here. I think they are not taking their work seriously. They need to take their work seriously and do what they are supposed to do. view
• 7 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to add my voice to this as a Member of the Pan African Parliament. It is very clear that this meeting was destined for Africa for particular reasons. It is only the African continent that has a positive population growth. All the other continents are declining. It is only in Africa where lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBTQ) and all those businesses are not appreciated. We do not even have a vocabulary for it. Those people are trying to bring a meeting here so that we can start talking about it. As we talk ... view
• 7 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: I just wanted to enlighten the Members. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 26 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Lands regarding land parcel ownership by Del Monte Kenya Limited in Murang’a and Kiambu counties. The company is alleged to be occupying land that is more than the allocated acreage. Together with Kakuzi, they occupy at least half of Murang’a County and a good area of Kiambu County. This has disadvantaged the residents. The local people were unlawfully and illegally evicted by the colonialist decades ago. It is against our Constitution as well as the ... view
• 26 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: In the past, the company refused to co-operate with the county government bringing unbearable suffering and loss to the people of Murang’a and Kiambu, in particular the residents of Githanga. They have to traverse an extreme distance to Thika Town to get administrative and economic services due to lack of a passage within the property. It is against this background that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Lands on the following: i) What is the actual size of the land occupied by the Del Monte Kenya Limited? ii) Whether there is any land that ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I want to thank the Members of this august House for the support they have rendered to this proposed Bill. There was overwhelming support. I sat through the discussions. Apart from one Member who expressed reservations, all the Members who participated supported the Bill. I thank them very much for that. They support this Bill because of the obvious, namely, it is supporting the people who sent us here. It is supporting the view
• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: of Kenya. It is supporting the businesspeople of Kenya to do business. Members can see how our greedy banks want to suck every profit our businesspeople make from their businesses. It has come out very clearly that the argument the banks and the Kenya Bankers Association (KBA), including the National Treasury, have been putting forward is that the introduction of capping is restricting credit or making credit unavailable to our Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). That is happening, but it is not the capping that is making credit not available to SMEs. It is the banks which sat down somewhere ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: the consumer like Consumers Federation of Kenya (COFEK) and many other institutions. They came out and said that we need to retain the caps until we get a sober arrangement from banks. So, by passing this Bill, we are just doing what the public wants us to do. What we are doing here are the corrections that the courts of law found fault in law. On the sections of the law that the courts said we need to rectify we have sat down and done the corrections which are before this House. To conclude, I would like to urge Members ... view
